His compositional sense was amazing. A friend acquired a Krenkel "doodle" of Pompei projecting a deep space. The viewer stands at one end of a long plaza bordered by the stalls of a market place near at hand which give way to pavilions, towers and temples marching down to docks where stately triremes rest at anchor. The most distant point is Vesuvius, with a thin wisp of smoke ominously rising from its summit. Krenkel combined beauty, power, majesty and tragedy in this drawing of dimensions 3"x5"!

About Me

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
